Kris Allentweeted, “Moms cleaning out her house and she found this poem I wrote when I was a kid. Must say I was pretty deep back then. #dontknowwhathappened…What’s sad is that I think I could draw better back then.”

“This tweet is LONG overdue: WHOEVER stole my luggage at LAX Delta baggage claim #3 on Tuesday Oct 4th: DO THE RIGHT THING AND RETURN IT!!!… I’ve been holding out, hoping it would show up but the fact that Delta says it was SCANNED at baggage claim tells me SOMEONE STOLE IT!… This happened 11 days ago and I was hoping it would show. Delta says the bag tag was scanned IN LAX so it DID show up…b4 someone took it Good news is, only clothes…nothing too personal like family stuff and demos, etc…I’ll never understand how someone can do such a thing…it’s such a violation…If someone MISTOOK the bag, there would have been a similar looking bag left behind AND they would have returned it to LAX by now…”

Meanwhile, Chris had to fly back to North Carolina before he could fly to Toronto because he forgot his passport, “So check this out! This dude forgot his passport and had to fly all the way home to get it before flying to Toronto…that dude is ME…Found out at the airport…turns out you can’t get into Canada without one:) And FedEx doesn’t overnight on a Saturday. AND I don’t even get to see my family…land, get passport, and get right back on another plane. Never leaving the airport”

Lauren Alaina draws crowd in Fort Oglethorpe

Chandler Smith walked up to the blue line, feet together, head back, hands crossed. In front of her, the biggest deal since she first listened to Justin Bieber.Plus, Lauren Alaina’s a local. Chandler, the 12-year-old mouthpiece of her family, isn’t known for her silence. But seconds away from meeting her musical hero, the usually talkative girl fell silent. “I’m going to let her do the talking,” she said about her older sister Taylor.

The people in front of Chandler, Taylor and their mother, Jeanie, got their signatures and left.

Moment of truth. Chandler slowly walked in front of her sister and mother and up to Alaina. “How are you doing?” Alaina asked.

Katharine McPhee will post a little sneak peek every Saturday on her Facebook. She’s in New York City rehearsing and shooting her new NBC drama, Smash, set to premiere at midseason.

This week’s sneak:

Kellie Pickler To Appear At Nashville Charity Event For Musicians On Call

Kellie Pickler has signed on to appear at the upcoming Musician’s On Call fourth Anniversary celebration on November 4.

Musicians on Call is a charity organization that brings live music performances and recorded music into hospitals and healthcare facilities. The Nashville branch of the charity has brought music to over 40,000 patients since its inception in 2007.

In a cover story for Entertainment Weekly last month, Neil Patrick Harris wrote about surviving in show business and bypassing the curse of the child star. The Hollywood overachiever, who plays the neurotic womanizer Barney on “How I Met Your Mother,’’ mentioned coming out as gay to the public in 2006. “I must say,’’ he wrote, “the indifference that most people expressed was the greatest reaction of all – and a reflection of a nicely evolving culture.’’

I was shocked that Lauren’s mom tweeted that video- I have only one question- WHY?

LOL…I love that Kris Allen poem. That is so cute…and I love the drawing.

Loved the Magoo’s vid with Lauren great to see her having fun.
I think she was channeling Casey Abramns.LOL

Why not ? I thought she sounded great, plus she was just having fun.

I think Lauren’s mom was just showing the “at home” girl goofing off in jeans and a t shirt. Required karoke in Georgia must be Midnight Train to Georgia but she forgot the ending ad libs.

She sounds fine, but -let’s just say it doesn’t exactly flatter her appearance.

That’s sad about Chris luggage but I have no idea what he means about the luggage being scanned at baggage claim? Anyone?

LadyBeBop

I don’t think this was ever posted.

Sing-Off host, Nick Lachey, is moving back to his hometown, Cincinnati. I know Nick spent a lot of time commuting from his home in Los Angeles to Cincinnati. Now it looks like he’ll be commuting a lot to Los Angeles from Cincinnati.

The article also includes a photo spread of Nick throughout the years from sixth grade to today.

“She sounds fine, but -let’s just say it doesn’t exactly flatter her appearance.”

What am I missing thought she looked like a cute teenager out having fun. Nothing unflattering about her appearance at all.

When baggage arrives at the destination airport, it is scanned to show it arrived. Chris apparently is saying the luggage made it to the airport but someone else picked it up. Had the airlines lost the luggage, there would not have been an arrival scan.

Elliegrll

Lauren looks cute in that video. It’s nice that she can have a fun night at home.

Great write with Brett James yesterday in Nash, feel very very Good about the song :)headed to breakfast and then back at it. Love you guys!

Buffynut

Thanks Tyler! So the baggae handlers scan it then before it goes on the carousel. I actually did not know that happened! Way back when, there used to be workers checking luggage tags at the exit doors, but that hasn’t happend in many, many years.

taytimber

Lauren’s really got a great sense of humor, i always enjoy seeing her having fun. She’s one versatile singer, amazing. Good to see her being a normal kid back home too.

aww.. love Kris’s poem and drawing.
It brought a lot of lulzy replies on Twitter :)

TwigLA

Maybe some of us are seeing something different from that link of Lauren singing Midnight Train. What I see is a video on its side (not horizontal orientation) and her body is squashed and widened. Very unflattering, but no reflection on her … just on the person who took the video and uploaded it.

If you’ve ever set your TV to widescreen on a show that was not meant to be seen that way, you know what I’m talking about. Tall slender people look like short fat munchkins.

She sounds great and was obviously having fun.

TwigLA

I love that drawing and poem by little kid Kris. I especially like the final verse. Deep thinking for a kid.

I cracked up at the pic of the hunter shooting a camel (?) in the butt with what looks like a water pistol and saying, ‘So!’ The camel looks confused.

Wouldn’t you love to get into his mind?

Lauren seems cute to me on that video.

Some video surfacing from Danny’s event last night, performing I Still Believe from his album.

“Maybe some of us are seeing something different from that link of Lauren singing Midnight Train. What I see is a video on its side (not horizontal orientation) and her body is squashed and widened.

I think its a half full half empty glass thing. I didn’t even notice flattened appearance(did notice it was on its side LOL) thought she looked good perhaps was more interested in her overall happy aura. Maybe her Mom just wanted to share that with her fans. I would guess she got Lauren’s approval to tweet it.

Eileen99

The Kris poem was cute. He had a lot of empathy for others, even back then. I agree, Mtlfn, he did get a lot of hilarious replies on Twitter.

mzbet

TwigLA Lauren’s video is opening horizontal and squished like that on my desktop computer, too. She looks 2′ tall and 4′ wide LOL. I finally got it to play OK on my tablet, and she looks really cute imo. She’s having a great time and sounds good. I love her album and have been playing it a lot.

Syesha looks and sounds great in that video! That song is one of my all time favorites.

Kris’ poem is adorable with that drawing. Apparently he has been concerned for others from a very young age. He’s still showing that same character attribute to this day.

Lauren looks so cute! She sounds great and looks fabulous in her jeans and t-shirt. I’m glad she can have some fun and be a normal teenager back home.

BL1486

Watch Lauren’s video from her mother’s twitter (Kristy Tara). The video is not squished like it is here on mj’s link. Lauren looks great!

mzbet

BL1486 Thanks for the tip to watch on her mom’s twitter link. Much better!

steph6449

Maybe it is an individual configuration thing. I clicked on the Lauren video from mj’s link above, and it was not squashed for me. It was sideways though, lol. Lauren looked fine, no major distorted perspective.

ETA: yes, using Chrome on my Windows 7 laptop

TwigLA

Thanks, BL1486. I had to switch to Google Chrome browser to get the better image, though it’s still sideways. Flash player doesn’t play nice with Safari. Of course, I always have trouble with yfrog stuff.

I thought it was a lot of fun. Lauren reminds me of Kelly Clarkson.

TwigLA

PS to Chris Daughtry. You are not helping my travel anxiety one bit.

jjrr1942

Paid no attention to the squished look – knew what it was. But did not care for her singing…her voice still doesn’t sound right to me.

Besides Brett James, Lee has also been writing in Nashville with Blair Daly (who cowrote Lauren’s “Georgia Peaches”) and Kevin Griffin.
Nolan Sipe tweeted a few days ago about cowriting with Lee.

What is Jordin’s story, does anyone know? I recall she released a single within the last year, right? and it kinda flopped. Did she not have more material already set for an album release? I’m confused.

She revealed that the album wasn’t ready, when she released the single. Just guessing, but the single may have been released to test the market, they may have wanted to see how many PDs would play the song, and if people were open to hearing this type of song from Jordin, since it’s very different from the other songs that she released. Given her promo schedule over the past few months and the movie, they are more than likely trying to build up buzz well in advance of releasing the album.

goboywonder

Videos are coming for sure so stay tuned! :D For the time being…

Oooh great pictures, especially the first one–the eyes have it! I will rest assured that videos are coming. Thanks Djafan. *keep hope alive*. :lol:

ZwanCD I’ll put whatever songs I want on it. And at the moment, I’m focusing on the movie. Music later

Yes, I used Chrome on my new laptop, but couldn’t get it to work on my mobile at all. so its not a normal video config.

tripp_ncwy

I just still think Jive just put Jordin’s single out so she would have something to promote on the NKOTBSB tour this past summer. Add to that the beginning of all the upheaval at Sony/Jive.

Great pictures of David Archuleta! He sang 18 songs to a great crowd of Military and their families along with Japenese fans.
Great reception. Videos are trickling in. He dedicated Stand By Me to the troops.

Jordin is currently filming Sparkle in Detroit. so the songs could very well be for the soundtrack or maybe it could be for her album since she was working with Harvey Mason who i am not sure is involved with the soundtrack . supposedly R Kelly is the only one writing songs from that.

TylerWV

Google chrome definitely makes a difference in the video. She is still sideways but looks normal size. IE made her look like she weighed 200 lbs.

Lucy1234

Nice to see some video from Danny’s event last night.

I think Lauren looks cute and happy to be home. From some of the articles I read, she got quite a crowd at the Walmart signing events. One of the Walmarts was close to 2,000 lined up for autographs. Must have been surreal for her.

I’m glad to see Lauren is still on top of the country albums on Itunes and in the top 5 overall. Like My Mother Does passed Dirt Road prayer in the songs and she still has 5 songs in the top 100 country songs. I guess people are liking what they hear in the snippets.

Buffynut

Did any LA people sign up for Kelly’s show at the Troubadour on the 19th. I did, it said I was registered and thanked me but I haven’t gotten an e-mail or anything to confirm. Also, it doens’t say, on the sign up page what time the show is?

Harvey Mason is doing the soundtrack to Sparkle.

@HarveyMasonjr Will you be producing Whitney’s songs for the Sparkle movie, too? Or just Jordin’s?

Buffynut, emails went out early Saturday morning telling people if they received tickets. It originally said they’d get 2 tickets then another urgent email was sent out to those people saying they’d only receive 1 ticket because it was over booked. There were also quite a few radio contests going on across the country and in Canada to get tickets for this show. Doors are at 7 and the show starts at 8.

girlygirl

huh.. I registered to get tickets for Kelly’s show at the Troubadour but I haven’t gotten an email
